husband in another world

Chapter 71 The Mysterious Man Bought Toba

The woman withdrew her hand. She didn't feel that it was an insult to buy a skirt without even touching the material. Instead, she thought it was worthy of being made by Zhou's family, with high quality and quantity. Those who don't buy it will distribute it at will, and others are not allowed to touch it casually, even those who sell it.At the same time, this also invisibly aggravated the precious and mysterious atmosphere of Chidori Yuyi, making everyone have an impression that Chidori Yuyi is very precious and cannot be played with casually.

There were also many familiar faces in the auction venue, such as Master Li Dongli and his wife Li Shi, but his cousin Sun Jiao was not there.There are countless invitations sent by Zhou Jing, and who they are, Shen Mo dare not say clearly, but there is absolutely no Li Dong's family, and I don't know where they worked so hard to get an invitation this time .

Shen Mo and Zhou Jing have already become the false faces of businessmen.Even if I was stimulated to scold my mother in my heart, I still had a sincere smile on my face, as if you paid for it and everything you said was right, you are the sky, you are the earth, you are the only myth.

He came to Li Dong and his wife with a smile, bowed to Zhao Cui and Fan Xin, and said respectfully: "Master and Madam, please appreciate the Chidiao Yuyi."

Li Dong was taken aback by Shen Mo's great gift, and he was secretly surprised. Zhou Jing is famous for loving his husband, and he swore not to take concubines because of his little husband. His husband personally went out to show his face and do the lowly work done by these servants.

After all, Zhou Jing came from later generations, so his thinking is naturally different from that of the people of the Dynasty. The people of the Dynasty think that women and husbands are canaries, and should be raised.However, Zhou Jing was educated by later generations and believed that both men and women should be self-reliant. This is not only a responsibility but also a human right.So for Shen Mo, he will protect him and will not let him challenge outrageous things, but if the situation permits, he will be invited to participate in some things, including family business matters, so that he can grow up and mature, and he will not do anything. Ignorant and foolish people.It's probably related to Zhou Jing's actions, Shen Mo can often help him a lot, and sometimes there are unexpected joys.Just like the previous road repair incident.

Although Li Dong didn't know what Zhou Jing meant by allowing Shen Mo to show his face to do these slaves, but he knew Zhou Jing's love for Shen Mo, and knowing Shen Mo's true identity, he didn't dare to order Shen Mo like this at all. He got up and was about to help someone, but was interrupted by Fan Xin's sudden insertion from behind.

"Master, ma'am, please appreciate the thousand-bird feather coat. This thousand-bird feather coat is made of the feathers of a thousand rare birds and gold thread..." Li Dong's helping hand was empty, and he looked at Shen Mo again, only to see He looked as usual, nodded slightly to him, asked him to look at Yuyi, and then let go of his hanging heart.

His wife, Mrs. Li, didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, she thought that what Li Dong did to the Zhou family was giving them too much face.Her master has decades of foundation in Liu Town. What is the Zhou family? It has risen recently. It is because they recently made nightgowns and sold them very hotly, but that is only half a year old. The heel is.If she knew about business matters like Shen Mo, instead of being trapped in the backyard of the boudoir every day, I'm afraid she would not dare to have such thoughts.

Mrs. Li was wearing a thick silk brocade, holding Li Dong's arm, and said coquettishly: "Master, look at this thousand-bird feather coat, it is so beautiful, not only is it precious, every stitch and thread is a blessing, and wearing such a skirt will definitely make the whole body feel beautiful." The family brought the Fu Mansion, don’t you think so, sir?”

Li Dong could only chuckle, at this moment, he really regretted that he shouldn't have softened his heart. At the beginning, Ren Li made so many requests that he shouldn't have brought her out.This stupid woman said this in front of everyone, isn't she expressly expressing that he bought it for her, but don't even think about it, the Zhou family made such a huge auction this time just to sell this Chidori feather coat, and even more so. It attracted merchants or other people from the north and the south who didn't know the details. How could the price be cheap.She didn't want to see if he could afford it, so she knew she would. She didn't intend to embarrass him.

Fortunately, Fan Xin stepped forward to make a timely rescue, "Ma'am is right, this is a dress that can bring auspiciousness and prosperity to the owner's family. Wearing this skirt will definitely bring good luck to the whole family. When the auction is held later, Ma'am If you like it, you can participate in the auction, but now I will push it away and show it to the next master."

Mrs. Li was reluctant to watch enough, and wanted to watch it for a while, but Li Dong hurriedly agreed.

In addition to the steps for people to climb up, there is a gentle slope in the design of the stairs on the first and second floors. People who were surprised by this gentle slope when they came here finally understand the function of this gentle slope.

I saw Shen Mo and Zhao Cui staggering back and forth, one pushing Qiandiao Yuyi in front, and the other stretching out his hand behind to protect, preventing the former from pushing and the Yuyi slipping off.

Most of the people sitting on the second floor were not from Liuzhen. They wore low-key clothes, even without brocade, but their demeanor could not be ignored.Fan Xin treats these people with 12 more energy than the local gentlemen.

However, they also know that they are in other people's territory, and they are very well-behaved. Chidori Yuyi pushes it to the side and looks at it. Although they look carefully, they absolutely abide by the rules. Others pay attention.

When Chidori Yuyi walked around in front of everyone and returned to the first floor, the three of Shen Mo still stood beside Yuyi in a protective posture.

"Masters and wives have all seen Qiandiao Yuyi. I don't need to say more about the fine workmanship and materials used in the feather clothes. Let's directly bid for it." Zhou Jing introduced: "There is a small sign on the table of all the lords. The masters participating in the auction can just raise the sign to quote directly, and the starting price of each increase is 20 taels. That is to say, if the base price of this product is 20 taels, all bidders can only increase the price by 30 taels each time on the basis of the previous one, which is 50 taels Taels, 70 taels, [-] taels, or one hundred and one taels."

"The base price of Qiandiao Yuyi is 2000 taels of silver. The winner must pay within seven days. Otherwise, the auction will be repeated after seven days."

Li Shi, who had hinted that Li Dong was going to buy her a thousand-bird feather coat just now, took a deep breath and almost couldn't breathe.Li Dong glanced at him, resentful in his heart, this price is only the reserve price, there has been no price increase, and the transaction price may not be much at that time.

Unlike Mrs. Li, the others didn't take the price into consideration at all, and they even had a much higher valuation in their minds before they came.After all, if it is not precious, it is not worth their tossing all the way from south to north.

The price was 1000 taels at the time of prior discussion, and the starting price of 2000 taels was decided by Zhou Jing on the spur of the moment.He hadn't expected that Chidori Yuyi would attract such people. It was just a dress that attracted people from the south. Only then did he realize that Chidori Yuyi was more precious than he imagined.Fan Xin and Zhao Cui couldn't help but look sideways. After all, it was a full 1000 taels higher than what they had set before. It was expensive enough before, but now it is even more expensive. Would anyone be willing to shell out so much money just to buy a dress?Only Shen Mo didn't react much, as if Zhou Jing just temporarily added 20 taels of silver.

Fan Xin and Zhao Cui quickly concealed their expressions and continued to guard Yuyi dutifully.

Zhou Jing ignored everyone's discussion, and said, "Now the auction starts, and the base price of Qiandiao Yuyi is 2000 taels."

Following Zhou Jing's voice, the crowd who had been discussing just now fell silent.

Probably the rules are still not well understood, and no one raised their placards to bid for the auction.Zhou Jing looked up at the second floor, blinked at several people, and soon someone raised a sign and bid: "Two thousand and twenty taels."

"One time at 20 taels, there is still no price increase, and the transaction is completed without asking the price three times."

Soon another person raised a sign and said, "Two thousand and forty taels..."

At this time, the others also roughly understood the rules of the auction, and knew how to increase the price. Calling the price three times means a deal, so they immediately participated in the bidding, and raised a sign saying: "Two thousand and sixty taels!"

"Two thousand and eighty taels..."

At the beginning, the people who participated in the auction were very cautious. After getting familiar with it, the bidding gradually became more intense, from 20 taels to 100 taels.

"Two thousand nine hundred taels..."

"Two thousand nine hundred taels..."

"3000 taels..."

In just half a cup of tea, the bidding price changed from a base price of 2000 taels to 3000 taels.

Zhou Jingle became a chrysanthemum, Fan Xin and Zhao Cui were a little silly, this thousand bird feather coat needs real money, can't it just move your mouth?Why are all of them as if they don't want money, and they are so red-faced?

Shen Mo blinked his eyes, but he couldn't see it on the surface, but he was also not at peace in his heart.But he wasn't shocked by the price of Yuyi, but saw little gold ingots flying towards him with their wings spread.

"Three thousand and five hundred two times, if there is no price increase, it will belong to this master."

The bidder was a merchant from the south, with a strange accent, and followed the auction halfway, but every time he raised the price, he had to overwhelm others.

Just when Zhou Jing was about to bid, another man dressed more modestly on the second floor held up a sign for the first time: "4000 taels..."

The southern merchant glared at him.

Zhou Jingdao: "Is there any price increase for 4000 taels?"

Gritting his teeth, the merchant from the south said heartily, "200 taels..."

"Four thousand five hundred taels..."

"Four thousand five hundred taels..."

"5000 taels..." At this time, everyone could see that this man who had never seen Liu Zhen's identity before was bound to win Chidori Yuyi, and at the same time, they secretly sighed in their hearts where the sacredness of 5000 taels came from. The bidding for real gold and silver is so flowing, without blinking an eye.

Zhou Jingdao: "5000 for two times... 5000 for two times... Is there any bids? If there is no thousand bird feather coat, it will belong to this master."

5000 taels for a dress is unprecedented, and no one is willing to bid for competition.

Zhou Jing made a final decision, "5000 two or three times, congratulations to this master for winning the auction."

As the auction dust settled, everyone's hearts were relieved at the same time. 5000 taels of Chidori feather coat, what kind of person can wear it, maybe it is really a fairy in the sky.

"Don't be disappointed if you didn't get a picture of Chidori feather clothes. There are also ten feather fans here, which are also sewn from rare bird feathers, and are also made of gold and silver thread."

The maid will present ten feather fans on a wooden tray, Zhao Cui takes them, Fan Xin follows behind, leaving Shen Mo to guard the feather clothes, and goes to the crowd to display the feather fans again.

"These ten rare bird feather fans are not sewn with a single piece of silk and satin. They are completely made of rare bird feathers. The feather fans unfold like peacocks. The colors are bright and very beautiful."

Zhao Cui unfolded the ten feather fans one by one. Among them, the peacock feather fan he sewed was caught by many wives and lords. Everyone who didn't snatch the feather clothes thought it would be good to take a peacock feather fan back. .

In the end, the peacock feather fan was sold at 300 taels, and the prices of the other nine were around 100 taels.

Then there are purses, twenty pieces, except for the two pieces of Zhao Cuixiu that were sold by the same master for 100 taels of silver, the remaining 50 pieces are all around [-] taels.

After this auction, the reputation of Zhoujiabuzhuang was not limited to Liuzhen, Liuxing, and even the entire dynasty.

Zhou Jing was sitting in the hall, the shop in front and the yard in the back were tightly closed, and the four of them were sitting at home counting gold, silver and banknotes.

Not counting the Chidori Yuyi, the purse and lupine sold for 300 taels of silver.

"Master Zhou, I am really convinced." Fan Xin gave a thumbs up, "I used to think that Master Zhao was very great when I followed Master Zhao. Now that I follow you, I know what the real God of Wealth is. At first I I still don't understand why you put people among the bidders. At that time, I thought, if our people follow the bidding to increase the price, but others don't increase, then the things will fall into our own hands. I didn't expect our people Let’s start first, and after showing them how to bid, these gentlemen competed one by one to bid as if they didn’t spend their own money.”

Zhou Jing said with a smile: "This time, your rare bird feathers have made great contributions. It was agreed to split equally at the beginning. These are your half. You take care of them."

"Master, there are more than a dozen men coming from outside, saying that they are here to fetch feather coats from thousands of birds. I think they came in a carriage." Jiang Wei knocked on the door and walked through the door.

Zhou Jing and Shen Mo looked at each other, stood up, "Go invite someone in. Xiao Mo, go and prepare some tea, the real God of Wealth is here."

The man was still wearing the same low-key fabric that he wore in the morning, and he wouldn't be looked at even if he was thrown into the crowd, but Zhou Jing could tell at a glance that he was definitely not a businessman.There is a kind of strength in him that the superiors say is unambiguous, and even a person like Zhou Jing who has seen the world in later generations can feel the sense of oppression emanating from him.Behind the man were a few able-bodied men, all dressed in bunts. Although they didn't carry weapons, their identities could be seen as guards at a glance.

Once the man sat down, they stood apart behind him, clearly in a protective gesture.

Zhou Jing poured him a cup of tea with his own hands and handed it over.

"Try this is the new Biluochun, it's not as good as the tea you drink at home, I hope you don't dislike it."

The man didn't say anything, but took a sip of tea.

"I don't know what the master's name is?"

"Feng."

The man only said one word, and Zhou Jing didn't ask in detail, and said in a polite manner: "Master Feng,"

At this time, Fan Xin walked in, nodded to Zhou Jing, indicating that Zhou Jing had the right number.Zhou Jing stood up and clapped his hands in the air three times, and Shen Mo pushed Yuyi out.

"Chidori Yuyi, please check."

The man got up and came to Qiandori Yuyi, he didn't reach out to touch it directly, but reached out to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing was only stunned for a moment, and immediately realized, "Xiao Mo, take off the gloves on your hands."

Shen Mo took off the gloves and handed them to Zhou Jing, who put them on for Master Feng himself.

Only then did Master Feng get closer to Yuyi for a closer look, he looked very carefully, checking bit by bit, and only after a cup of tea did Master Feng nod.

"This thing is called a glove? Can you give me a few pairs, and it will be convenient for my servants to transport it."

"No problem. Xiaomo, bring all the gloves from our house to Master Feng." Zhou Jing said in a friendly way: "Let's move this model, Master Feng, too, so that you can transport it on the road."

"Thank you."

A total of five copies were made, all of which were given to Master Feng.Master Feng distributed it to several guards behind him, and motioned them to put the feather clothes into the carriage.The tall and burly man suddenly became cautious while carrying Chidori's feather coat, showing a bit of clumsiness.

"How about Mr. Feng staying for a light meal?"

"No, I have something else to do."

"Then I won't keep you, I'll send you off."

Just as Zhou Jing sent Master Feng to the door, Zhou Yu came back from school.Holding a few books in his hand, he called Zhou Jingsheng 'Father', and obediently called 'Uncle' to Master Feng, and then turned sideways to make way for the two of them.

The whole process was so gentle and courteous that the eight-year-old had the feeling of a refined young man.

Master Feng couldn't help looking at Zhou Yu a few more times, seeing that the children were dressed in plain and unpretentious clothes, which did not match the Zhou family's wealth status at all, just like ordinary people in the town, and there was no sign of the young master.But his demeanor followed Zhou Jing's. Although he came from a merchant family, he didn't see the philistines of the merchant family. Instead, he had a kind of politeness that came after he had read poetry and books.

Master Feng stopped in his tracks, "Your son taught you well and is very polite."

These words have a feeling of talking from top to bottom, it seems that he and Zhou Jing are not in a business relationship, but Zhou Jing's superior.

Zhou Jing didn't care at all, "Thank you for the compliment, Xiao Yu, come here and thank Uncle, Uncle praised you."

Zhou Yu didn't have the shyness unique to children of this age at all. He was generous and courteous, "Xiao Yu thanked Uncle for his praise, and also wished the brothers and younger brothers of Uncle's family success in their studies and won the gold list."

Probably everyone loves to listen to auspicious words. Master Feng, who had always been serious, showed a smile on rare occasions, and said forcefully and gently, "Your name is Zhou Yu. How old are you this year? What books have you read?"

"I am eight years old and read "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "The Analects of Confucius."

Master Feng was taken aback, ""Sun Tzu's Art of War"?"

"Yes, dad taught me some, and Mr. Gu also taught me some."

"Oh?" Master Feng turned to look at Zhou Jing, "Have you ever read? Are you a scholar?"

"No, it's just that I have followed the scholars to recognize characters, and I like to read a few books."

"It's a good thing to like reading, but don't teach your children if you don't understand it yourself, so as not to teach your children astray."

Without waiting for Zhou Jing to answer, Zhou Yu said: "Although Dad is not literate, he knows a lot of knowledge. The "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that Dad taught me before, Mr. Gu has tested and taught me, and there is nothing wrong with it. He also said that what Dad taught very good."

These words made Master Feng look at Zhou Jing a few more times, and suddenly asked: "You paid money to repair the road in Wangjia Village?"

Zhou Jing was taken aback for a moment, and something flashed through his mind, but it was too fast to catch it.He only said: "My brother-in-law and I jointly funded and repaired it."

Master Feng stopped talking about other things, nodded, turned around and said to Zhou Yu: "Good boy." He touched his body for a long time, only to find a piece of emerald green jade pendant on his waist, with the word "Li" engraved on it.He rubbed his fingers on the jade pendant, as if reluctant to part with it.A man who had been following behind him saw him and pulled the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Master Feng.

Master Feng took it and gave it to Zhou Yu, "This is for you as a meeting gift."

Zhou Yu shook his head, "Uncle, it's too precious for Xiao Yu to accept."

Master Feng insisted on giving it, but Zhou Yu could only look at Zhou Jing for help. Zhou Jing seemed calm, but actually his heart was turbulent.He guessed that Master Feng was by no means a simple person, and he was not very fond of him, but he was particularly fond of an eight-year-old child whom he met for the first time. He wondered where Zhou Yu got the attention of a nobleman. If he had had this luck, Why bother to suffer in Zheng Liu's hands.

Zhou Jing thought for a while before saying to Zhou Yu: "Accept it, it's uncle's wish."

Only then did Zhou Yu accept it, and tied it to his body in front of Master Feng. "Thank you Uncle, Xiao Yu likes it very much."

Master Feng smiled again and said, "Good boy."

After sending Master Feng away, the father and son turned around and walked back. Zhou Jing didn't let Zhou Yu enter the hall, but said to him: "You go to the study to study, and I'll call your aunt to call you when we eat later."

It wasn't that Zhou Jing deliberately kept Zhou Yu's family money from him, but that the money was huge, let alone an eight-year-old child, it was enough for an adult to lose his mind.

Counting Qiandiao Yuyi, Zhou Jing and Fan Xin each got 650 taels.Fan Xin and Zhao Cui took their part and left. Zhao Cui's deed of prostitution was redeemed by Fan Xin long ago. Although the two did not hold a wedding ceremony, they joined the household registration in the Yamen and became a family.

When only Zhou Jing and Shen Mo were left, Shen Mo dared to laugh heartily.

"Brother Jing, we have made a fortune. This is more than 300 taels of gold. We won't make money for the rest of our lives, but it's enough to eat and drink."

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaomo, I can finally let you live a good life and buy whatever you want."

"Brother Jing, thank you, thank you for letting me know what it's like to be taken seriously."

Shen Mo's eyes are very beautiful, with a kind of seductive charm, every time Zhou Jing meets his long and narrow phoenix eyes, he has an illusion of fascination, and he can't help but want to go up to him and eat him.

Zhou Jing's gaze was too frightening, as if he was about to swallow him alive, Shen Mo was so frightened that he began to find reasons randomly, muttering in his mouth that he didn't know what to say, and backed away without a trace while talking.

Zhou Jing said helplessly: "Xiao Mo, you are my husband."

Shen Mo blushed, "Then at night, not anytime, anywhere..."

"Okay, then at night." Zhou Jing said.
